My mother Charlotte and I have boarded our 3 horses at Shadow Lane Livery for the past 4 years. When we came to Glenna's barn we were looking for a quiet friendly place, and that's exactly what we found.
We have 2 geldings and 1 mare. There has been no other places we have boarded that we felt this confident and comfortable with who is taking care of our horses. Glenna treats every horse as her own, she is never afraid to step up when the owner is unable to make it. She puts ease to the boarders minds knowing she is there 100% in the best interest of the horse.
The facility is kept clean and all members are outgoing and kind. Our horses have never looked this good and you can tell how truly happy they are. On the nice summer days you can see them all together grazing out on the open field. This facility is truly a keeper and so are the people who tend to it.
Our hats go off to Shadow Lane Livery - it couldn't be a better place to enjoy friendships and the comfort of your horses.

Shadow Lane Livery has become a home away from home for myself and my horse. I felt safe and comfortable leaving my 20 year old quarter horse in Glenna's caring and capable hands when I went to university. When he was sick, Glenna tended to his every need. If it is a quite, homey and well run wonderful equine facitlity you are looking for, you will find it at Shadow Lane Livery. I encourage anyone looking for a quality home for their horse to look at Shadow Lane Livery.

I boarded two of my horses at Glenna’s facility for 2 years. My daughter and I ride western pleasure, and at the time one of my horses had an issue with his leg that necessitated extra care. Glenna gave us good advice on feeding and using supplements to help combat the effects of arthritis. She was always willing to go the extra mile to ensure the animals got the best of care.
We were never restricted from seeing our horses because of barn hours, and the stalls were large and well kept. The property has a huge, well lit, indoor arena which was always a pleasure to use. And, because of the size, there was never an issue of too many people using it at the same time.
Glenna has a true passion when it comes to horses. She treats all horses in her care as if they are her own. They were checked regularly in the paddock and were given good grade hay with plenty of grazing in the summer.
I left her facilities because I wanted to work with a trainer in another city. However, I would not hesitate going back, or recommending her facility to anyone looking for boarding.

I boarded my Hanoverian dressage gelding at Shadow Lane Livery for two years. He arrived there with an existing injury and required stall rest and special attention. He was looked after as one of their own and I never had to worry about the care he recieved while there.
Shadow Lane is a very safe and happy place for your horse to live, and it's low key environment allows for lots of arena time. I would highly recommend Shadow Lane to any horse owner of all disicplines.

Having leased a horse boarded at Shadow Lanes Livery, I can definitely attest to the fact that Glenna Benson runs an excellent equestrian facility. She certainly goes the extra mile to ensure that the horses under her care are happy and healthy. No matter what their age, breed or health level they all get individualized care and attention. She is also in tune with the needs of her boarders and strives to make them feel comfortable and welcome. Happily, I was able to purchase the horse I formerly leased and I have to say she is one of the most relaxed, well-adjusted mares I have ever known, due in no small part I am sure, to the quality of life she experienced at Shadow Lane.
